deals abound: one of my friends works for minoura panaracer and sends me a tire every year or so...i was able to get the geax AKA tire for ten bucks via the strava challenge and the avid brake pads were two pairs for fifteen bucks on ebay.

No, it's a trunk mount platform rack, Thule Raceway. An option I never knew existed until recently. It is a really neat rack and saves me from having to put a hitch on my car to get a platform style rack. It's a bit shaky with the rails extended but I trust Thule's reputation to not drop my bike as long as I'm using the rack correctly.

Live like there's no tomorrow. But pay your bills just in case there is.
